The List You Knew Was Coming.
2010 was really strange and hard and beautiful and messy. Here’s what stands out:
I found out failure is awesome and I’m allowed to be any one I want at any time as long as it’s myself.
I started the year in Toronto and followed it with Edmonton, Calgary, San Francisco, Chico, Los Angeles, a road trip to Tucson, back to LA, Austin, Fort Worth, NJ, NYC, DC, Denver, Seattle,...

I’d like to share with you my dirty little secret: I’m staying home tonight for New Year’s Eve.
I immediately feel that I need to tell you that I had various plans for the night. Oddly, I was asked out for New Year’s Eve in early August. I was heading to bed when my phone lit up with an invitation to be C’s date while he was in town for the holidays. I laughed...

Why We Are Friends:
Me: How long do you think it would take us to drive to Minneapolis?
Ronen: What is that?
Me: It’s a city in Minnesota.
Ronen: Why not just go to regular sized apolis?
Me: I love your brain.
Ronen: Why not just go to a city in a regular sized soda? Or a large soda.
Me: Maybe there is a city named large soda! That we would definitely have to go to. With bendy straws.
Ronen: Truth.
And...

i just want to say that life is precious. life is wonderful. life is unpredictable. so please, go out and life your own. it’s going to only get weirder and wilder from this point on, so please, don’t sit in your little bubble and listen and follow what you have been taught or told your whole life…

“I feel like I’m keeping myself really busy and back to being so everythingissuperandgreat because I don’t want to think about him and yet I do anyway. It’s just annoying. There I am having a perfectly good day and, bam, he pops into my brain. It can be anytime, any place. It’s like a voice - I’m not sure whose voice it is - saying his name and I can see him and...

heyamberrae asked: thanks for the kind words in your last post! :)
richardgatta asked: what band would you recommend to me if I was looking for new music?
heyamberrae:
What you feel tells far more than what you think. Be aware of how every interaction and moment makes you feel. In that lies the answers to your most important questions about life.
This woman is brilliant. I (honestly) just learned this in the past few months and it’s changed my life. Feeling > Thinking.

Yes. Yes yes yes. (Yes also to ORD. I actually TRY to have layovers there.)

Today was MAGIC.
Today proved to me even more that my MAGIC is BACK. I’m sure glad because I had been missing it. Here is why today kicked major butt:
First, I woke up to an email confirming that I’ll be filming my first ever music video tomorrow. (!!!!!!!) Being in a music video was one of my mega to-do’s this year and I’m psyched to be squeezing it in at the very end of the year. As if...

Being Alive.
We started the night at a party on 108th Street and ended up at a bar in midtown. Everyone kept asking the same question. “So, what’re you up to?” In actorspeak this means: what project/show/career move are you working on? I kept answering in the simplest way I could. “I’m living. Spending time with people, apartment hunting, figuring things out.” I wanted to...

11:11 A.M.: Cards for Kerry →
1111amblog:
A friend of 11:11 A.M.’s, Kerry, recently received a successful bone marrow transplant. But in the past couple days, a complication occurred and she is back in the hospital. We wanted to do something special for her during this time. In the past, we did something similar for our friend Matt and…

You can spot her by her bag, at least half a city block away.
She will whip around when you yell her name as loud as you can, scaring all of the tourists in between the two of you. Tourists who live in places where people don’t yell.
You will move from yelling to screaming with complete joy over being reunited and she will scream even louder. The tourists have surely moved away by now.

Re: Human Beings.
There is a person in my life who was just plain awful to me for at least the first full year I knew him. There are a few key factors to this such as: 1. I allowed him to treat me like this. 2. I (honestly) could not get away from him. Due to the nature of my life at the time, I had to see him at least 4 hours a day and spent long hours traveling with him. 3. In between being awful, he was not...

I wanted the past to go away, I wanted to leave it, like another country; I wanted my life to close, and open like a hinge, like a wing, like the part of the song where it falls down over the rocks: an explosion, a discovery; I wanted to hurry into the work of my life; I wanted to know,
whoever I was, I was
alive for a little while.

Also I wanted to be able to love. And we all know how...
